It took a long time to get drinks from the bartenders, and they weren't even busy. Had faster service in a much more crowded place. Bathrooms were very clean though.

Parking: Designed to be a stop for boaters on the river. Has their own dock that leads right into the bar.

Wow expected more from what I thought was North Peak. Not happy with beer choices. Deck is beautiful, killer location but come on...beer snob here.

Went on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. The drinks were pretty strong, but they were still good! They definitely need more of their tablet systems for checking out customers and putting orders in because it was a complete mess. Waited 15-20 mins to just close the tab and 15-20 mins to just get a drink as well. No food was there, typically they have a food truck but due to weather and low demand they left. So, if you want food, call ahead of time to make sure they will be there. Other than all that, it was a nice place! Two drinks cost us $9. Prices seemed decent!

This place has a cool vibe, it does get really busy on the weekends and it does take a while to get your drink but I think it’s more of a lack of staff issue if anything.

Every time I've been to Drift, ordering a drink takes way longer than necessary and there never seems to be enough staff behind the bar. We love the open air setting. I wish it wasn't so difficult to get your drinks ordered.
